Whoever is running DHS socials (obv at Miller’s direction) basically needs to be sent to the Negative Zone for life
DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Starting tomorrow, federal agents who cover their faces can be arrested across the state of California. If your local elected officials have been crying about ICE raids for the past year, now they can direct the police who exist entirely under their control to do something about it.

The blood libel calls for ethnic cleansing in the follow-up tweets are bad. But also they’re automatically coding “loan to someone with an ethnic name” as fraud

I know these guys are nuts but this stuff is escaping containment and I really struggle to see how we don’t come apart at the seams
i don't think this is going to end well, guys

Has any authoritarian secret police force ever had to market itself so aggressively to get recruits?
New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows.

BREAKING

The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.

Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

Still unreported, should be investigated:

ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”
Huge win for Richard Noticias LA, TikTok journalist shot by ICE. Criminal charges dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be refiled.

ICE did him DIRTY. Repeatedly. Inhumane treatment, basically medical torture.

Still in ICE custody on immigration case. They owe him unconditional release.

Whatever Trump vibe shift there was or wasn’t in the aggregate (it is a good q), we know there were lots of people eager to believe in one because it gave them permission to reveal their shitty beliefs
It's worth asking: was there ever a real Trump Vibe Shift to begin with? Or was there just a negative reaction towards leadership that appeared out of touch with persistent economic concerns? Because the latter explains the public's views towards Biden AND Trump

It remains really fucked up that they actually suckered real kids into making a huge life blunder by coming to this school. Granted they’re probably people I wouldn’t care for, but they’re still the dupes in an extended episode of fash VC onanism and Bari Weiss personal branding. Scummy stuff
